Accademia Gallery Guided Tour in a small group (max 8 people)

Our Accademia Gallery guided tour in a small groupwith max 8 participants starts from Piazza della Signoria, the very place where the original Michelangelo’s David used to stand between 1504 and 1873.

We do believe, as locals, that only considering its original location, we can get a closer perspective of what such an iconic statue meant to the eyes of contemporaries and what an impact the statue of David had on future sculptors and on all people living or visiting Florence in those times.

We will walk through the historic center, considering the impressive patrimony of statues visible at Orsanmichele, Piazza del Duomo and obviously at Piazza della Signoria.

Michelangelo’s David was the most sensational, gigantic statue showed as a freestanding artwork, to be admired on a public open-air museum like Piazza della Signoria.

When reaching the Accademia Gallery, we will admire not only the original statue of David, but also the most dramatic and non-complete Michelangelo’s works: the Prisoners, in which most of historians believe Michelangelo was rendering himself…to be continued live with our expert guides!
